I went on an ~epic ~roadtrip with lilie_charlotte (M) last week to Canada's east coast. We hit three provinces in nine days, attempted to sing along to Korean pop (trololol), took a bajillion photos, got lost, got stuck in a ditch in the middle of nowhere at night, went to a police station, ate a McLobster, and Other Things

OH GOD. THOSE PICS OF NOVA SCOTIA ARE MAKING ME HOMESICK. Not that Nova Scotia is my actual home, but the vast majority of my relatives live in either Halifax or up in Cape Breton, in a tiny town called Glace Bay. And I haven't been there in way, way too long. :( :(

Also, omg, Green Gables! I've been there! And the Bay of Fundy and... I'm just gonna stop. lol

It sounds (and looks!) like it was an awesome road trip, bb! :D

NS is a lovely place! I wish we had more time to visit more of the province. We had considered going up to Cape Breton, but the drive was just too long -- I'll bet it's gorgeous in the fall, though. :>

Did you go to the Avonlea Village when you visited Green Gables? (and if so, how was it?) There was one guest at the B&B we stayed at who recommended it, but due to limited time, we chose to go to Green Gables instead of Avonlea Village. The Bay of Fundy is pretty awesome! I wish we had a chance to go to Digby to go whale watching!

(hee at your icon!) <3

I love travel posts! Especially with pics. It's like I get to live vicariously through my flist. ;D

It sounds like you had a good time minus the whole car in the ditch. omg, that's so scary! Like the beginning of a horror movie or something. Thank goodness you guys were close to some houses with good people willing to help. What the heck was up with Google Maps though?

[fishpatrol]

I try to get out of the province, if not the country (going to the US counts as leaving the country ;)), at least once a year (and then take a bajillion photos!) -- next year will be China, most likely! :>

Omg, yeah -- in retrospect, it was very much like the beginning of a horror movie! I'm so glad that didn't occur to me at the time or I would've panicked more. XD; I am forever grateful to the kind couple who helped us out! Google Maps was correct for 99% of the trip -- I have no idea why it completely borked this location! Google Maps clearly indicated a road when there was none!

China?! Omg, that sounds amazing!! If you go, I want to hear ALL about it, okay? :D

[fishpatrol]

I usually go to China every couple of years (I think my last travel post about China is tagged under "vacation") -- but my dad might be going somewhere fun/exotic in China next summer, so I want to tag along. :>

Forests are scary in the dark! \o\ So I'm glad we got out of that predicament pretty quickly!

I AM SORRY THAT I HAVE DASHED YOUR DREAMS RE: GREEN GABLES. I can send you some more photos and you can pretend that it is a well-preserved ~natural ~treasure. :> I was ~quick on the ~draw and got a bunch of photos without tourists in them, trololol.

Why wouldn't you! Lobster! In McDonalds! It was an ~experience. (I suffered minor indigestion, but that could have been due to the chicken salad...)

Vacation! :DD

(I at first misread you as "nine provinces in three days" which sounds kind of horrifying tbh.)

The car in the ditch sounds awful! I'm so glad those nice people were around to help. And why is it that vacations give you such little time for napping/podfic-listening/beach-lounging/etc. *side-eyes*

Your pictures are beautiful, though! You went to some gorgeous places. Glad you're back safe! <3

[fishpatrol]

Haha, oh boy, I can't even imagine how one could visit nine provinces in three days without an insane amount of flying! X3

I am forever grateful that the couple were willing and able to help us! \o\ I can't imagine what we would've done (since I'm guessing that even if we had called for a tow truck, it would've taken hours for them to get to us, and gah, I probably would have panicked a lot more /o\)

I always think that there'll be plenty of time at night to read/listen to podfic, but I can only get through a bit of a fic before I get super sleepy and end up crashing for the night!

Thank you♥♥!

[fishpatrol]

Thanks so much! ♥♥ We thought it would be a lot cheaper to stay within the country this time, but we didn't save all that much money, especially with the car rental! ^^;;
